Answer:
OBr₂
Explanation:
<em>The ionic character depends on the difference of electronegativity between the elements. The higher ΔEN, the greater the ionic character.</em>
SBr₂
ΔEN = |EN(S)-EN(Br)| = |2.5-2.8| = 0.3
OBr₂
ΔEN = |EN(O)-EN(Br)| = |3.5-2.8| = 0.7
SeCl₂
ΔEN = |EN(Se)-EN(Cl)| = |2.4-3.0| = 0.6
TeI₂
ΔEN = |EN(Te)-EN(I)| = |2.1-2.5| = 0.4
SCl₂
ΔEN = |EN(S)-EN(Cl)| = |2.5-3.0| = 0.5
OBr₂ is the molecule with the most ionic character.
Mass of sulfur combined - 4.69 g
Mass of gas produced is 15.81 g, therefore mass of fluorine is (15.81-4.69) = 11.12 g
Number of sulfur moles - 4.69 g/32 g/mol = 0.15 mol
Number of fluorine moles - 11.12 g/ 19 g/mol = 0.585 mol
divide both by least number of moles
S - 0.15/0.15 = 1
F - 0.585/0.15 = 3.9 rounded off is 4
ratio of S to F = 1:4Therefore formula of the gas is SF₄
